Abstract

During the Easter 1816 rebellion in Barbados – often known as ‘Bussa’s Rebellion’ – the decisive engagement at Bayley’s plantation in the parish of St Philip saw around 400 enslaved rebels clash with 150 men from the 1st West India Regiment under the command of a Major Cassidy. This was one of a series of military units that had been raised by the British in the mid-to-late 1790s during the war with Republican France. They were largely made up of West African personnel who had been purchased from slave traders, or – after the abolition of the British slave trade – who had been ‘liberated’ from foreign slave ships. The Regiments were commanded by white officers like Cassidy. With the British force closing on their position at Bayley’s, some of the rebels called out, urging the black soldiers to join with them.
